'37 Ford Coupe

[Plowboy]

I built this a few years ago. It was to be the modern version of my '40 coupe. But, it doesn't have the same "feel" as the '40. I started by ditching the fenders/running boards. Then, I filled in the rear wheel arches, chopped the top 3.5 mms. and added a '37 pickup grille. The headlights are from the kit with buckets formed from putty. Wheels and tires are from an Alumi Coupe. Paint is Tamiya Pearl Green and Champagne Gold. If I had it to do over, I would push the front suspension forward and the rearend back to balance it out better. Also, I would place the master cylinder on the frame. Still, I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out.

Thanx for checking it out!

That's pretty cool!  I would have to agree with you about the front axle position another half an inch would make a huge difference to proportions.  That chop is particularly smooth - I am envious!

Very sharp custom!

Very nice style and as Alan pointed out, the top chop is really well done and completely in proportion with the rest of the body. I like the truck grill you used. Cleanly detailed engine also.

Wow, that looks cool from every angle! Love the truck grille!
